So happy this is something we left behind (mostly)

This!

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

One of those is not like the rest and doesn't truly deserve to be on the list – "username checks out". All the others provide absolutely no value, while "username checks out", at least, lets you notice a potential humorous situation which you might not have noticed otherwise.

We should probably stop masturbating the dead horse.

This!

I also choose this guy's dead complaints.

I like those comments. Most funny posts become even funnier because of the comment section.

You people sound really bitter tbh.

Have my updoot....and my axe.

Edit: my top comment is about axe body spray.

Edit 2: thanks for the gold kind stranger

Edit 3: my inbox has really blown up.

"r/woooosh"

redditors are always creative with their comments

literally no one ever said that

I also choose this guys wife.

please accept this le reddit silver

THIS

I understand why it's not remembered positively, but this is what got me into Reddit. A bunch of dumbasses around the world sharing a sense of humour with other dumbasses on the other side.

It was funny. The threads were hilarious. I had tons of those old threads screenshotted for memories.

It gave Reddit the personality it had. The flawed, annoying, absolutely toxic yet truly remarkable personality it possessed.

I would love for Lemmy to have one of its own but I truly miss the absolute random bullshittery that Reddit had. I see it happen sometimes on Lemmy. And the hope that I'll get that feeling again keeps me on here.

if i knew that my comment about koalas fucking a tree wouod be my most upvotrd comment i wouldnt have beleuevd it

I never understood why anyone would upvote these comments, or why no sub (that I know of) banned them.

Google en passant.

The real comment is always in the comments!

I'm gonna get down voted to hell for this buuuuut... *completely reasonable comment

Take my upvote

so much THIS

These are bad but God forgive the massgrave of uncreativity that is Yotube comments

It's a pretty dismal strawman in the first panel. Hell, even in 2010 they were famous for being that site that just recycled memes from other sites. Comments were same shit different era, 'le', 'good sir', 'narwhal bacon'... well at least that last one was original even if lolrandumbxD.

But yeah, 'based' and 'this' are literally reused from other sites, especially 'this', which its entire purpose is to show agreement on sites that don't have voting like reddit does. People saying 'this' on reddit don't understand reddit

Has anyone ever said that reddit comments are always creative?

Alas, I have but only one upvote to give

Some habits are best left behind. I'd like to see Lemmy continue to set quality above quantity instead of bow to social trends.

I kind of miss the kind of gimmick users that made you genuinely say "yeah, the user name does check out here".

Came here to say this.

*Edit: thank you kind stranger!

New meme just dropped

Also "My time to shine..." or something along those lines implying that they are the expert of current topic

I hate the comments in this thread soooo much.

Holy hell

Google en passant

It'll show up in any internet community eventually, don't worry.

Username checks out can be very funny since it often well… leads to the username and adds another layer of joke.
It needs to fit though of course.

Ah, the old Reddit Switcharoo

I only partly agree. The part remembers all those situations where a comment on reddit almost made me spit out my coffee while at work because I found it truly hilarious

Please tell me what "based" even means so I can misuse it amongst a bunch of 12 year olds and make them fucking stop.

Same

Python people be like: self.

Same

This guy reddit

I will say Reddit and lemmy are the only sites where comments genuinely make me laugh sometimes

Underrated comment.

It'd be real nice if someone created a browser addon that auto-downvoted these same comments and puns. With enough users you could wipe out anyone wanting to make the comments when they get 100 down votes just by people with the addon loading the comments section.

God this comment section is giving me a headache. Well done, folks.

Angry updoot

My sides

We did it, Lemmy!

It's really not though. These comments show up every day

Take my upvote ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Thanks a lot, u/TittyAssHoochyMama

This, take my up vote and may I commend you on your user name?

Comebacks aimed at other people's mothers or wives will never be unfunny. "Putin bofa deez nutz" is one I've ended up using fairly often in recent times.

"The Narwhal bacons at midnight"

this tbh

Nobody in the history of the Internet has ever said that all redditors are creative with their comments.

Same

This meme gets a 3/7 (5/7 with rice).

"This should be higher." "Savage." "Doggo." "Raises spork." "Russian bots are really active today." "CCP shills."

You must be fun at parties. WHO HURT YOU?

There was a time when Patrick's statement was true. But that was, like, 10 years ago.

Bingo!

Ding ding ding!

You missed "lol", "lmao", and any combination of only emojis.

A thousand times this

Me too thanks

F

Here is my completely reasonable opinion.

EDIT: Don't know why this is being downvoted to hell, especially as this comment isn't tagged 'edited on', demonstrating I put this 'edit' in the comment immediately upon posting so UPDOOT ME WAAAAH.

Username checks o.....Samsy? What's a Samsy?

So much win in this meme!

I hate it when people start sentences with "I mean...". Shall I do a post too?

Only mostly happy?

The uncreative memes are the least for me, though. What I'm really happy to see being left behind are:\

• "I don't understand" to convey "I disagree, but if I feign stupidity I'm going to tire you down while making you look angry and irrational for not spoonfeeding me basic reasoning"
• the "lol", "lmao", and emoji spam. I don't mind the acronyms themselves, but it's really hard to talk about anything serious with redditors
• "As a" [insert label]. It does pop up here sometimes, but in Reddit it's everywhere. It's like they believe that something becomes "magically" truer/falser because you claim that you're some random label.
• Bots that "join" conversation to boss you around. Here there's the piped bot offering alternative links to botnet videos, but it does a service, unlike those fuckers. (I'm looking at you, common misspelling bot. The fact that someone spelled "wierd" for "weird" is irrelevant. Stop. Adding. Noise. You. Fucking. Waste. Of. Electricity.)
• The mods. Yes, there are good mods there... and they don't usually last long. Shitheads though are a dime a dozen, because they followed the admins' "how to treat users" pamphlet to the letter.
